Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The Movado Women's Museum Watch sets its own standard for fun and refined elegance. This exquisite timepiece features Movado's signature museum dial with its signature concave hour marker at the 12 o'clock. The white dial is offset beautifully with silver tone hands and a 38 millimeter diameter stainless steel case and bezel. The white leather strap adds some fun to the mix with yellow and orange spots. The watch runs Swiss quartz precision movement, has a virtually scratch-proof sapphire crystal, and is water resistant to 99 feet.

Movado, which is the Esperanto word for "movement," is renowned for its Swiss craftsmanship and the widely recognizable plain clock face with a single point at 12 o'clock on its museum timepieces. This minimalist design was intended to be evocative of a sun dial, with the dot representing the sun at high noon.

The Movado Story

The art of Movado is the art of design. Since its founding in 1881 by 19-year old entrepreneur Achille Ditesheim in the village of La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, Movado has achieved a legacy of design innovation, earning more than 100 patents and 200 international awards for artistry and innovation in watch design and time technology.

Movado, meaning "always in motion" in the international language of Esperanto, is the hallmark of some of the most famous timepieces ever created: the 1912 Polyplan, its revolutionary, patented movement constructed on three planes to fit a case curved to follow the wrist…the WWI Soldier’s Watch with its elegant, protective grill…the 1927 Ermeto, a capsule-shaped pocket watch wound by the sliding motion of its case…the innovative 1950’s Kingmatic series of rotor-driven automatics…the Movado Artist’s Series by luminaries of the fine art world…and the Movado Museum® Watch with its legendary dial.

Defined by a single dot at 12 representing the sun at high noon, the Museum Watch dial is regarded as an icon of Modernism. It was designed by Bauhaus-influenced artist Nathan George Horwitt in 1947. When Horwitt’s dial was selected for the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art, New York, in 1960, it was the first watch dial ever awarded this distinction. The name "Museum Watch" derives from this recognition. Today, Movado watches are in prominent museums worldwide, and this legendary dial distinguishes an entire collection of singular timepieces.

This review is from: Movado Women's 605702 Museum Genuine Python Leather Strap Watch (Watch)

I was not very impressed by the watch. It is an original Movado, but it was way too large and the leather strap was very dingy, it looked almost like it was worn.

I had to return it. Be careful and don't go by the size in the picture it is much much larger and if you have small hands like me it will not look right.
